A merkin (first use, according to the OED, 1617) is a pubic wig, worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia to eliminate lice or to disguise the marks of syphilis. There are many different ways of wearing a merkin, although most involve placing the merkin on the vulva or the scrotum. In current times, Merkins have become popular in Japan (where they are known as "Night Flowers"), and are sold to physiologically immature girls and young women to "normalize" body appearance. They usually come from Chinese suppliers, who hand-weave the hair into a net backing. Each merkin is then trimmed to fit the customer's particular body shape.

It's a pubic wig. There's a bloke who works on the Simpsons who's name is something like Matt Merkin too. Puts a smile on my face every time.

Pubic wig. In earlier, unhygienic times, when bathing was only an annual event, folks would shave down there to control lice and similar cooties, then don a wig after so as not to look weird or childlike.

This is a little tuft of fake hair to stick on in place of real pubic hair. I can't believe that the German head of state has this for a surname :) It's almost like the President of the United States being named.......Bush?

An Elizabthan pubic wig! They shaved their own off as they were lice infected and didn;t want to appear filthy to their lovers!

It's like a Gherkin but it's hairy and tastes a bit fishy
